“Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” — Daniel 12:4

1) biblical Canon

1.1. Tanakh / Old Testament (canonical jewish)

• Daniel Core of the genre in the judaism of the s. II. C.: stories of court (cap. 1-6) and the apocalyptic visions (chaps. 7-12) with beasts, “ancient of Days”, calendars, symbolic and divine sovereignty over the empires. Date and form anchored in the context macabeo; bilingual (Hebrew/aramaic).
• (Apocalyptic passages in the prophets):
  Ezekiel 1; 38-39 (Gog), Zechariah 1-6; 9-14, Isaiah 24-27 and 65-66 show imagery/eschatology of high voltage, but they are not “revelation” self-employed (they are oracles prophetic sections, the visionary). Yes are formal backgrounds of Daniel and the apocalyptic second-templeña.

1.2. New Testament (canonical christian)

• Apocalypse of John (Revelation) Single revelation-canonical christian. Combine letters (seven churches of Asia), prophecy and apocalyptic visions (seal-trumpet-cup; beast; 666; New Jerusalem).

• (Apocalyptic passages in the synoptic gospels and epistles):
  The “little apocalypse” (Mk 13 torque Mt 24-25; Lk 21), 1 Thess 4-5; 2 Thess 2; 1 Cor 15 contain scenarios of crisis final parousia and judgment, but they are not “books” apocalyptic self-employed.

It is included here only the gnostic texts bearing the title “Revelation/Revelation” or the standard edition classified as “apocalyptic” by its form (ascent/descent, revealing heavenly, history and soul to the powers).

Refer to the index of the NHL for systematic consultation.

5) jewish Traditions and judeo-christian late in the shape apocalyptic

• Revelation of Zerubabel (Sefer Zerubavel)
  Text a medieval Hebrew catalog messianic (Messiah son of Joseph, Armilus) and final battle; it shows the durability of molds apocalyptic in judaism post-talmudic.
• Revelation of Gabriel / “Enrollment Jeselsohn”
  Ink on stone (ca. s. I a. C. / I d. C.) with oracles and heavenly messenger; debated, but relevant to the horizon apocalyptic era.

6) Definition, traits, and gender

• Standard definition: “A genre of literature revelatoria with frame narrative in which a being from another world half a revelation to a human recipient, disclosure, which includes a transcendent reality and time (eschatological) and space (light blue), with the intention of to interpret the present and guiding the conduct”. (Collins, The Apocalyptic Imagination).
• Formal characteristics: pseudonimia, visions, symbolic, angelology developed, calendars, and numerologías, dualism historic (now/so), judgement and/or salvation's impending.
• Chronology: flowers approx. 200 to. C.–200 d. C., with reactivations later (e.g., medieval).

“The human story is apocalyptic because it is history: all history you walk to your judgment.” — Ernst Bloch

7) reading Guide and notes of transmission

1. Multilayer editorial: 1 Enoch, Sibylline Oracles, 4 Ezra/2 Baruch and many revelation christians survive in translations (geʿez, syriac, slavonic, coptic) with strata jews and christians. Therefore, the “total list” can only be exhaustive corpus and families textualnot for “each piece” synchronously stable.
2. Qumran: the community used and produced materials with the expectation of “end of time”; not everything is “revelation” of the title, but a number of texts are programmatic for the war/trial.
3. Crossing judeo-christian: works as Ascension of Isaiah, Sibylline and certain “Ezra/Baruch” evidence of continuity of reasons (temple destroyed, theodicy, thrones celestial).

Conclusion

This map meets the revelation recognized by the specialized research —and the major “close relatives”— in the two large trunks (jewish and christian), with its layers gnostic and qumránicas. If you want, I can extend any tab (date, status text, internal structure, manuscripts, literature and criticism crosses intertextual) or put together a comparison table (author, language, location, chronology, patterns, reception).
